Roger lifted his eyebrows, determinedly ignoring how attractive he was finding Marcus. He felt himself flushing with embarrassment. "Wait, your mum's sick and instead of telling me you let me get really mad at you, and depressed that you'd left," he asked incredulously. "Dude I feel like a complete arsehole getting all depressed and thinking that you'd worked out that I was crushing hard on you and been weirded out and left!" He paused and felt himself blush, he hadn't meant to declare his feelings, but maybe Marcus wouldn't notice.
He bit his lip as Marcus ran his hand through his hair - something that definitely wasn't fair. "It's fine," Roger replied absently. "I just wish you'd told me, you know? Or that management had! We were all really freaked out when you left."
